SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 753,896, dated March 8,1904.

Application filed July 2, 1903- Serial N0. 164,088- (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FREDERICK MANKEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Williamsport, in the county of Lycoming and State ofPennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulMirror-Support, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to devices employed for hanging mirrors and someforms of pietures or display-frames and similar articles, and has forits object to support the article in position to be adjusted to anydesired angle; and the invention consists in certain novel features ofconstruction, as hereinafter shown and described, and specified in theclaims.

In the drawings illustrative of the invention, in which correspondingparts are denoted by like designating characters, Figure 1 is a sideelevation. Fig. 2 is a plan view, and Fig. 3 is a rear view, of thedevice. Fig.- 4 represents enlarged details in perspective of one of thelateral branches and its extension member detached. i

The improved device may be attached to a fixed or movable support, asrequired, or as circumstances may determine. The support may be a wall,a movable standard or frame, or thelike; but for the purpose ofillustration the device is shown applied to a portion of a wall,(represented at 10.) It is obvious, therefore, that I do not wish to belimited in any manner to the form of the support, but

reserve the right to its use Wherever it may be found applicable. I

Attached to the wall 10 are spaced sockets 11 '12, in which an arm 13 ismounted for oscillation, the arm being formed with a branch 14,extending at right angles therefrom and terminating in lateral branches15 16, as

19 20 provide for the adjustment to any width of mirror or other object,as will be obvious,

extension members 'in position.

and some form offastening means, such as setscrews 2d 25, may beemployed to lock the By this simple arrangement the mirror or otherobject is supported in positionto'swing laterally or horizontally and becaused to assume any desired angle or inclination. I

The device will be found very convenient for dressing-mirrors or mirrorsemployed in millinery and dress-making establishments, tailor-shops, andsimilar localities, and may also be employed in stores to supportvarious articles for display, and also to support pictures and similarobjects which it is desired to adjust to the light to bring out the besteffects.

The parts will be of any suitable metal and in any size or fancifuldesign and may be plated or otherwise ornamented to suit the taste or tocorrespond to the other fixtures or furniture of the apartment. 7

The device may be mounted upon a movable stand or frame to enable it tobe moved from place to place and may be applied to any size or form ofmirror or other object.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is- 4 1. In a deviceof the class described, an arm mounted to swing horizontally andhavinglateral branches at its free end, extension members connected foradjustment longitudinally of said branches, and a mirror or otherarticle to be supported mounted to swing upon said extensions,substantially as specified.

2. In a device of the class described, an arm mounted to swinghorizontally and having lat eral branches at its free end and with clipsthereon, extension members engaged by said clips and adapted foradjustment therein longitudinally of said'branches, and a mirror orother article to be supported mounted to swing upon said extensionmembers, substantially as specified. I I I In testimony that I claim theforegoing as my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presenceof two witnesses.

FREDERICK MANKEY.
